While most of the attention seems to have been on North Carolina and Wake Forest in the early going, Duke still has a chance (though unlikely) to become the first team to go undefeated in ACC play since…Duke in 1999. Of course, Wake Forest could put a stop to Duke's run next Wednesday in Winston-Salem, N.C.

Watch out for Wayne

After making just nine of 32 shots from 3-point range during an eight-game drought, UNC guard Wayne Ellington has started to heat up. Last Saturday, he went seven of 11 from 3-point range against Miami. He scored more than 17 points for the first two times this season, with 23 against Miami and 25 against Clemson. Last season, he had 20 or more points in eight games.

At zero and holding

How long will it take Georgia Tech to get a conference win this season? Its next five games are at Clemson, against Wake Forest, at Florida State, against Maryland and at Virginia Tech – no gimmes in that group.

Player of the Week

Jeff Allen, Virginia Tech: After dropping a career-high 30 points on Boston College last Saturday to go along with nine rebounds, three blocks and three steals in a victory, he came back Wednesday night to have 16 points and seven rebounds in Tech's upset win at No. 1 Wake Forest. Since having a seven of 26 field goal shooting drought in a four-game stretch, he has made 17 of 26 in his last two games.

Game of the Week

No. 2 Duke at No. 1 Wake Forest, 7 p.m., Wednesday ( ESPN): Now, Wake Forest won't be No. 1 anymore when it hosts Duke, but the Blue Devils might ascend to that top spot. It'll be a matchup of some of the best guards in the nation, with Wake Forest's Jeff Teague squaring off against Duke's Gerald Henderson. Of course, watching Wake Forest forwards James Johnson and Al-Farouq Aminu against Duke forward Kyle Singler will also be a treat.

By the Numbers

13 – Approximate number of games UNC's Tyler Hansbrough will need to become the ACC's career scoring leader if he stays healthy and keeps his 20.4 points per game career average

31 – Combined points scored by Duke's Kyle Singler and Gerald Henderson in the second half of Tuesday night's win against N.C. State

53.4 – Percentage drop in field goal shooting for Clemson's Terrence Oglesby from the first half to the second half against UNC (five of eight in first half and one of 11 in second half)
